Watermelon popsicle

Materials:

• pink, green, white, black paper;
• wooden stick for ice cream;
• glue stick;
• scissors;
• pencil

1. Cut out 2 pieces measuring 15×6 cm from pink colored paper, on one side make the ends rounded.

2. Cut out 2 pieces 6×3 cm from white paper and 2 pieces 6×2 cm from green paper.

2. From black paper, cut out small teardrop-shaped details – seeds.

3. We begin to collect popsicles. To the pink part, use a glue stick to glue the white part, and glue the green part on top of it. Make two pieces of ice cream this way.

4. Glue the seeds randomly.

5. On a wooden stick, apply glue about halfway, stick on one of the inner parts of the ice cream. Then run the glue over its entire surface and attach the second part on top.

Horn

Materials:

• beige cardboard A4;
• white sheet of paper;
• colour pencils;
• glue;
• scissors;
• ruler;
• pencil.

1. On beige cardboard, make a semicircle with a compass. You should get a figure in the form of an open fan.

2. With a dark brown pencil, draw transverse lines imitating waffle squares. We bend in the shape of a cone and glue the two sides to make an ice cream cone.

3. We make a perfect square from a white sheet of paper, align it diagonally, well marking the folds, and unfold the paper again. Then bend it along these marks, creating a kind of triangle with edges.

4. On one of the front faces, having a triangular shape, paint the lines of the ice cream shape in different colors.

5. We fold the triangular structure in such a way as if we were folding the page, taking the lower left corner and turning to the right.

6. We make several folds in the form of waves so that it takes the form of ice cream. We place it inside the cone and glue it.

7. Optionally, you can decorate the horn with a straw and frozen fruits, which you have previously cut out of paper.
